After many family distractions including helping my brother after he had a stroke and helping my mother to move to the Chicago area, we are finally launching a new science fiction novel (Xenogeneic: First Contact). It is due out March 8 and is available for pre-order on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and elsewhere (see below) at a pre-order discount until March 8, 2017.

Xenogeneic: First Contact

SUMMARY OF XENOGENEIC: FIRST CONTACT

Xenogeneic is a science fiction thriller about first contact with an alien race that lost their civil war and wants to take over Earth.

Dr. Elena Pyetrov’s father vanished in space 18 years ago while searching for extraterrestrial life. As an aerospace engineer, Elena travels into space to search for answers and to continue his work. Her ship is pulled off course and crashes.

The alien Knoonk lost their civil war in a distant star system and fled to Earth’s neighborhood to hide and regroup. They seek a new home—Earth. Unable to live in Earth’s toxic environment, the aliens kidnap and use humans to genetically modify their species to adapt.

Surviving the crash, Elena and her shipmates are transported to a closed cave system where the Knoonk monitor and control everything. Elena tries to make a connection with her hosts and find ways to work together, but Knoonk leaders rebuff her and force the humans to submit as slaves. The aliens use illusions, distractions, and social experiments to learn from their hostages and keep them off balance. Resistance by captive humans brings swift punishment to break the human spirit.

While Elena continues to look for ways to cooperate with the Knoonk, the aliens want to capture Earth for their species. With time running out, Elena must dig deep to uncover the alien plan and find a way to stop them before the human race faces enslavement and extinction.

If you read and enjoy this story, we would greatly appreciate if you could take a few moments to provide star ratings and brief comments on Amazon and/or Goodreads (links below). This will help other potential readers to find Xenogeneic: First Contact.
